The California State Supreme Court on Monday upheld a lower-court decision that gave class-action status to a lawsuit alleging mass desecration of grave sites at Eden Memorial Park, 11500 Sepulveda Blvd, Mission Hills, CA, a Jewish cemetery which is under the care of the Texas-based Service Corporation International, thus clearing the way for injured families to seek hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, the LA Daily News reports.

Service Corporation International (SCI) claims to be “North America’s most trusted provider of end-of-life arrangements and services.” Based in Houston, Texas, the company operates more than 1,400 funeral homes and 380 cemeteries. It is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SCI.”

According to the LADN, the lawsuit alleges that cemetery groundskeepers were repeatedly instructed by SCI management to secretly break concrete vaults with a backhoe and remove, dump and/or discard the human remains – including human skulls – to make room for new burials, all in the interest of increased profits.

According to the complaint, SCI took steps to conceal their fraudulent actions by threatening employees and witnesses with retaliation and firing.

The Plaintiffs’ attorneys have estimated damages at more than $500 million. A trial was scheduled for Oct. 15.

According to JTA, in 2003 SCI agreed to a $100 million settlement with Menorah Gardens in Southwest Ranches, Fla., after being accused of misplacing bodies, smashing vaults and overselling plots at its graveyards near Palm Beach Gardens and Fort Lauderdale.

SCI, along with other companies, is also facing a $200 million lawsuit in Florida for desecrating burial plots and placing the wrong bodies in several gravesites.

I plan to make this a series of articles, pointing out how the Jewish Press effectively removes the poison from the fangs of the Jewish media stories, putting things in context and perspective and providing a Truth that represents both reality, and by definition, our Torah values.

That is a fat lie. And an intentional lie at that. It gives the impression that a Jewish firm is being sued by angry mourners, and if the good yet busy reader didn’t actually read the LADN story, they would walk away with the grumpy notion that those Jewish businessmen are ripping off their customers again.

It’s a fat lie because the Jewish cemetery, Eden Memorial Park, in Mission Hills, CA, is part of a burial empire based in Texas, and it was they, the corporate bastards who happen to own a Jewish cemetery, who allegedly gave the order to dig up the Jewish dead under their care and replant them in mass graves.

I hope to keep you posted on these differences between us and the rest of the crowd, so you’ll have even more reasons to keep coming back here many times a day, and to give us a “like” on our Facebook page.

Oh, man, now I need my coffee. Nothing like starting the day with a good corporate mass grave story…
